I can't wait to spend my money on this.

I know, but I want the 1.0 version, which means I want the game to be finished. But thanks anyway !

Quoting: g000hIt is very typical in the gaming industry for practically all game companies to insist on signing an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) for anyone who is working on any aspect of a game (external contractor or internal staff). Then the company controls information about game releases. It is usually set up so that release information is meticulously planned through the marketing team.

In their case, nothing is planned if you ask me.

I swore to never buy a TripWire game ever again. But then, if it's Aaron porting it over, I'll buy it anyway.

About TripWire, the way this company communicates (or doesn't, obviously) is really getting on my nerves. The deletion of both the website entry and the tweet confirms their intention to fool their customers. Remember that we never had - and will obviously never have an official statement on why they won't fix KF1 on Linux.

Quoting: FireBurnGentoo User here, I had to copy some libraries from ./ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ to ./steamapps/common/ShadowOfMordor/lib/x86_64/

I didn't have to do this when I first got the game, I'm not sure if it was caused by the Mordor update or a Steam client update, or simply the libraries on my system being too new now

To be clear the STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled so it should be using the provided libraries rather than the system ones (which are now too new to be compatible)

It could be caused by the recent change in the way the Steam client handles the runtime and local libs. I have no idea what they did, but setting STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 reverts to the old behaviour.

I've got this problem as well, and exporting the variable you provided fixes it.
I've got to tell that it affects all Feral games. I'll see if I can find any other workaround.

Quoting: fabertawe"You will experience problems occasionally but I'd call these niggles and I've never had one I couldn't solve quickly just by checking the forums or Wiki. Call me perverse but I actually like problem solving any issues anyway!"

Haha, that describes me too.. I do run into issues occasionally when I'm upgrading packages, but it just forces me to do a little reading and applying work arounds. Normally 5-10 min distraction and everything is back up and running.

As a GNOME 3 user I can tell you that Arch adopts their updates a little bit soon, and the DE generally becomes stable only when it gets released with Fedora... that's a problem I was tired of. Also, several years ago, a friend of mine was using XFCE on Arch and the image viewer (ristretto) was updated with a completely unstable version that they kept for quite a long time. So, not all of Arch's problems can be troubleshooted, but that's the deal when you use bleeding edge distros. Oh and I forgot about adopting systemd, we had to adapt all our config files and stuff, and write systemd config files from scratch, without really knowing how it worked. That's a great experience as a user, I made many bug reports and contributed a lot, which is rewarding.

On another hand, on Fedora there's the automatic bug reporting tool, and I still report more accurately when needed, but not quite as often as with Arch.

Quoting: fabertaweCall me perverse but I actually like problem solving any issues anyway! If you know what's installed (because you installed it) and why, then it's easier to troubleshoot and becomes second nature (I'm no techie by any means).

That's exactly what I liked about Arch, but after so many years running it, life has become more cluttered and I didn't have time to troubleshoot it any longer.

But it always comes in handy when you've got something wrong/weird with your system, even with other distributions. The only things that differ on my Fedora nowadays is SELinux policies and the system upgrades.

It comes with a pervert effect, though: whenever you see a strange boot message, you can't help but to investigate it... :P

@liamdawe : To be more precise, AUR is a port-like system - which means it's been designed after FreeBSD's ports system, or like Gentoo.

Fine to see that you went on and switched to another distribution, as it is one of the many advantages of the Linux world. I started using Linux with a good old SuSE back when was in high school, after this I installed Ubuntu on my first x86 laptop - before that I had an iBook running Mac OS 9. That HP laptop lasted 2 years and died, t'was the last time I'd buy HP, ever.

After this I got my hands on a Pentium IV that used to be my main workstation. By then I was using Debian but I wasn't satisfied with some of their policies, so I switched to Fedora. That was around Fedora 11. I stick with it for a year or so, but I wanted more. I tried to switch to Gentoo, but the end result was not very convincing... So I settled with pure Arch Linux, somewhere around 2010 or 2011, only to switch back to Fedora two years ago.

I've been using many desktop environments, including XFCE, KDE 3 and 4, E17, my own OpenBox configuration, and GNOME 2 and 3, which I now stick with.

I want to state that switching over like I did allowed me to see many great things and ideas from developers that are invested in what they do and do it in a creative fashion. That's something proprietary Operating Systems lack these days: passion and creativity.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroIs ChromeOS counted as Linux? Might explain why.

Finally, pornhub (NSFW obviously), a popular porn website has seen a 14% increase in traffic from Linux in the space of a year.

A lot of single Linux users out there :P.

That's what we call "single user mode"
